　　预测范文

　　As an old saying goes, “Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them.” Why is difficult to define, or rather discover and achieve happiness? I maintain the major determinant lies in a person’s attitudes.

　　There is little correlation between the circumstance of people’s lives and how happy they are. Instead, happiness lies in the struggle to be happy. To demonstrate, people sometimes go to extremes, and frantically pursue money, power, high social status, and so on, which are all symbols of success—but never of happiness. Perhaps if they shifted their life’s goal from ultimate success to unswerving efforts and to a confidence that they will be successful one day they would be a great deal happier.

　　Besides defining it, how do I achieve happiness? There is little doubt that various people have diverse ways of going about this task. As for me, the most significant secret is realizing that happiness is a by-product of something else. The most obvious sources are those pursuits that give our lives a purpose. These can be anything from playing tennis to studying insects. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are likely to experience.

　　参考译文

　　正如谚语所说：“幸福并非没有问题，而在于解决问题的能力”。为何很难定义、发现和获得幸福?我认为最重要的因素在于人们的态度。

　　人们的生活环境和他们多么幸福之间没什么关系。相反，幸福在于获取幸福的奋斗之中。例如，人们有时候会走极端，疯狂追求金钱、权利、很高的社会地位等等。这些都是成功的象征，但并非幸福的象征。也许如果他们把人生目标从终极成功转向未来他们必将成功的自信，他们将会更加幸福。

　　除了定义幸福之外，我如何来获取幸福?毫无疑问不同的人对于实现这一目标有着迥然不同的方式。对我而言，最大的秘密就是认识到幸福只是其他事情的一种副产品。最明显的来源就是给予我们目标的那些追求。这些追求可以使从打网球到研究昆虫的任何事情。我们越有激情，我们越有可能感受到幸福。

　　值得注意的是，近年来六级写作命题的反押 题倾向日益明显，考生必须严格按照提纲写作才能斩获高分。如果只靠考前所谓的专家押 题或万能模板一般只能获得低分。本体提纲异常灵活，首段应该通过评论“幸福并非没有问题，而是解决问题的能力”来引出主题;第二段应具体进行举例论证，列举如何通过解决问题来获得幸福的例证;第三段应写成建议措施段，关于如何培养解决问题来获得幸福提出自己的建议。
